Q.12. Consider two particles of masses m, = m and m2
= 3m moving with initial
velocities Vii
+1 m/s and v2i =
-1 m/s along the same direction. The two
%3D
particles collide head-on elastically, and then leave the collision site with different
velocities, v1f and var. The final velocities immediately after collision are:
a. Vif = -2 m/s; v2f = 0 m/s
%3D
b. Vif = 0 m/s; V2f = 0.5 m/s
c. Vif = -2.5 m/s; v2r = 0.5 m/s
3 m
d. Vif = -4 m/s; v2f = 0 m/s
